Bigsby

Head coach Doug Pederson told reporters Bigsby would attempt to practice on Friday. The second-year back couldn’t even muster a limited participant designation and was ruled out after receiving his third straight DNP. He will look to get back on the field after Jacksonville’s Week 12 bye. Travis Etienne will see the bulk of the touches in his absence, putting him back in the RB2 ranks for a week.

That makes two straight DNPs for Bigsby to open the week. The second-year back was limited in practice all of last week but ultimately played through his ankle injury. As things stand right now, his Week 11 availability is very much up in the air, but that can change if he can get on the field Friday. Even if he’s active, Bigsby will be hard to trust as anything more than a dart throw after seeing only two carries in last week’s loss to the Vikings.

Bigsby has been playing through the ankle issue for a few weeks. He re-aggravated it on Sunday and was forced to leave the game. The Jags listed him as questionable to return. He eventually did but barely saw the field and finished the day with just two carries. Fantasy managers can do better than a banged-up Bigsby in Week 11.

Playing through an ankle injury, Bigsby re-tweaked it in the game’s opening moments and was announced as “questionable.” He eventually returned, but it was pretty much all Travis Etienne from there on out. “All” in this case meaning 11 carries as the Jags found themselves staggered by Mac Jones’ ineptitude. With the Jags’ passing attack spiraling and Etienne finally staying on the field, Bigsby has become a touchdowns-based, zero-floor FLEX option ahead of Week 11 against the Lions.

Bigsby played through the ankle issue last week and will do so again versus the Vikings. He led the Jags with eight carries but did not catch a pass or find the end zone, leaving him with a measly 22 rushing yards to his name. The Jags are considerable underdogs with Mac Jones expected to start versus Minnesota. The negative game script alone will be enough to send Bigsby into the depths of the RB3 ranks this week.

Bigsby was reduced to a fantasy-unfriendly role with Travis Etienne (hamstring) back in the Week 9 lineup. Fantasy managers who can afford to stash Bigsby should feel free to keep him on their bench but his fantasy viability, even as the fill-in starter, is subpar in the Jaguars’ floundering offense.

Travis Etienne, returning from a hamstring injury, logged three carries. Bigsby ran a pass route on about 40 percent of Trevor Lawrence’s drop backs but was not targeted. Week 9 showed just how game script sensitive Bigsby can be, especially with Etienne back in the fold. The Jaguars abandoned the run in the second quarter, leaving Bigsby almost no way to rack up the touches he would need to be a reliable fantasy option. In Week 10, Bigsby will be a touchdown-dependent RB3 play against Minnesota.

Bigsby was limited in practice all week with a bulky ankle but will suit up against the Eagles, along with Travis Etienne, who has missed two weeks with a hamstring issue. Bigsby will likely take on early down duties while Etienne works as the primary pass-catching back. Bigsby will be a touchdown-dependent RB3 against the Eagles.

Bigsby was limited in practice throughout the week before receiving a questionable designation. Coming off 46 touches in two games, his limited sessions were likely maintenance. With Travis Etienne also expected to return, Bigsby will be relegated to a committee role despite excelling as the starter. Bigsby’s lack of a role in the passing game will also be an issue this week as the Jags are significant underdogs to Philly. The second-year back is a high-risk RB3 for his matchup with the Eagles.

The Jaguars have the nasty habit of limiting all injured players in practice before labeling them as questionable at the end of the week. Gabe Davis and Travis Etienne Jr. were both listed as questionable after triple-LP statuses in Weeks 7 and 8. Davis suited up each week. Etienne didn’t. Bigbsy appears to be truly questionable against the Eagles this week, though he is a viable RB2 if active.
